Explanation:

Apricot in the salt solution does not swell, because the outer solution is hypertonic. The water moves from the hypotonic to the hypertonic solution. And that is why it swells in the water, because water is hypotonic than the inner apricot medium.

Answer:

due to endo osmosis, the concentration in dry apricot is less as compared to water therefore the water enters apricot and it swells up. it will not swell in salt water as the water is already concentrated with salt
